Product Overview
Rapeseed honey, sourced from the nectar of Brassica napus (oilseed rape), is a monofloral variety recognized for its creamy-white color, mild peppery flavor, and rapid crystallization. At Alfa Chemistry, we supply raw, unprocessed rapeseed honey to preserve its natural enzymes and bioactive components.
Due to its high glucose content, this honey naturally crystallizes, developing a smooth, spreadable texture ideal for supplement formulations and functional foods. For a softer consistency, gently warming the container in water below 40°C will restore fluidity without degrading its quality.
With its balanced sugar profile, antioxidant richness, and mild aroma, rapeseed honey is a versatile ingredient suited for products targeting immunity, digestion, metabolic health, and overall wellness.
